The potential of Phragmites australis was evaluated for the removal of three veterinary drugs, enrofloxacin (ENR), ceftiofur (CEF) and tetracycline (TET), from aquatic mediums. Results showed that the plant promoted the removal of 94% and 75% of ENR and TET, respectively, from wastewater. Microbial abundance estimation revealed that microorganisms were not a major participant. Occurrence of drugs adsorption to plant roots was observed in small extension. Therefore, main mechanisms occurring were drug removal by plant uptake and/or degradation. Present results demonstrated the potential of P. australis-planted beds to be used for removal of pharmaceuticals from livestock and slaughterhouse industries wastewater.
芦苇（Phragmites australis）对三种兽药（恩诺沙星（ENR）、头孢噻呋（CEF）和四环素（TET））从水体中的去除效果进行了评估。结果表明，该植物分别促进了 94%和 75%的 ENR 和 TET 从废水中的去除。微生物丰度估算表明，微生物不是主要参与者。观察到药物吸附到植物根系的情况很小。因此，主要机制是通过植物吸收和/或降解去除药物。本研究结果表明，种植芦苇床有潜力用于去除来自畜牧业和屠宰场工业废水中的药物。
